Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
Lemon, butter, and garlic creates such a wonderful sauce. This scampi style sauce works great in this recipe on the chicken bites. Of course, this recipe was inspired by a more traditional shrimp scampi sauce. With that said, this sauce will work well with shrimp, scallops, and calamari. I have also used this sauce on boneless pork bites, so I can definitely recommend giving that a try.
